Kaspar Ahle

Kaspar Ahle (1897-1940) was a German artillery engineer during World War II. During the occupation of Paris, he was sent to work on the siege gun at the Elysees Theatre in Trocadero, and, in 1940, he was ordered to fire the gun at a French Resistance safehouse in the countryside. Ahle embarked upon a ten-minute preparation process, but he was gunned down by Sean Devlin and his gun blown up before he could fire it.
